First Intact Tomb Found In 80 Years

Archaeology is not only the hand maid of history, it is also the conservator of art.
Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton

They haven’t even gotten in the door yet. They have cut a hole in the door and have allowed the press to peek in it.

I find the discovery of new tombs to be exciting. Long ago, there was a saying that you couldn’t dig a hole in Egypt without stumbling on a tomb. Now, it seems that the intact tombs are much more difficult to find.

Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.
